title: "Autostart Desktop Applications"

The [freedesktop specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/0.5/ar01s02.html) describes how to identify file types, launch applications, and other useful desktop functions. A useful spec I've found recently is for launching desktop applications when you log into your machine.
In my Kubuntu 20.10 system, the directory `$HOME/.config/autostart` can contain [`.desktop`](https://brandonrozek.com/blog/linuxdesktopicons/) files that describes the applications to start on login. Drop whichever desktop file you wish to start there. In other systems it may be located under `$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart`.
If you want to start up a script instead, you can put the script under `$HOME/.config/autostart-scripts`.

title: "Chroot and Virtual Filesystems"
date: 2020-11-29T10:52:07-05:00

When running applications under a [`chroot`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot) environment, it can be annoying when certain [virtual filesystems](https://opensource.com/article/19/3/virtual-filesystems-linux) are unavailable. Here are the commands to mount the most common ones:
```bash
sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/root/proc
sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/root/sys
sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/root/dev
```
